Something Like Trust

I had to remind myself that I no longer had a claim to him. While logically I understood that we’d gone our separate ways, my heart and head were still involved with him. I adored Brandon. Desired him. And wanted to keep him safe and happy at all times. But it wasn’t my job, and I had to accept that. We were over and had parted on good terms. I still had a piece of him in my life. I needed to be content with that.
